Description

Based on the award-winning, international best-selling novel by Tim Winton,
Simon Baker's directorial debut BREATH follows two teenage boys, Pikelet and
Loonie (newcomers Samson Coulter and Ben Spence in breakthrough performances),
growing up in a remote corner of the Western Australian coast. Hungry for
discovery, the pair form an unlikely friendship with Sando (Simon Baker), a
mysterious older surfer and adventurer who pushes the boys to take risks that
will have a lasting and profound impact on their lives.

Also starring Elizabeth Debicki and Richard Roxburgh, BREATH is an authentic
coming-of-age drama set in an idyllic 1970s coastal Australia.

Critic Reviews for Breath:

“Baker keenly captures the beckoning magnetism of active waters, not
to mention the searching souls – young and experienced – who gravitate
toward its dangers.”- Robert Abele, Los
Angeles Times

“Star Simon Baker, in a solid directing debut, blends surfing and
coming-of-age elements into film of moments that don't always tie together. But
when they do – oh, how they soar.”- Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone

“Mr. Baker does nice work with the actors – his open-faced young
leads are sincere, appealing, believable – and there's a lot to like about
"Breath,” including its attention to natural beauty and to how surfing can
become a bridge to that splendor."- Manohla Dargis, New
York Times

“The film has a kind of workmanlike quaintness to it, offering a
number of surfing and underwater sequences that are both terrifically
accomplished and so modest as to not call attention to just how well-made they
really are.”Ben Croll, TheWrap
